    Elderly patients, patients taking diuretics, and those who are volume depleted may be at greater risk for developing hyponatremia with SSRIs [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.5 )] . (Citalopram label, Warnings and precautions)

  • VardenafilPDE5 inhibitorModerate

    Avoid use of Citalopram Capsules in patients with congenital long QT syndrome, bradycardia, hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia, recent acute myocardial infarction, or uncompensated heart failure and patients taking other drugs that prolong the QTc interval. (Citalopram label, Warnings and precautions)

  • Verapamilcalcium channel blockerModerate

    Such drugs include Class 1A (e.g., quinidine, procainamide) or Class III (e.g., amiodarone, sotalol) antiarrhythmic medications, antipsychotic medications (e.g., chlorpromazine, thioridazine), antibiotics (e.g., gatifloxacin, moxifloxacin), or any other class of medications known to prolong the QTc interval (e.g., pentamidine, levomethadyl acetate, methadone). (Citalopram label, Warnings and precautions)

  • WarfarinanticoagulantModerate

    For patients taking warfarin, carefully monitor the international normalized ratio [see Drug Interactions ( 7 )] . (Citalopram label, Warnings and precautions)

  • Zaleplonsedative-hypnoticModerate

    Coadministration with other CNS depressants (e.g., benzodiazepines, opioids, tricyclic antidepressants, alcohol) increases the risk of CNS depression. (Zaleplon label, Warnings)

  • Zolpidemsedative-hypnoticModerate

    Additive effects occur with concomitant use of other CNS depressants (e.g., benzodiazepines, opioids, tricyclic antidepressants, alcohol), including daytime use [see Drug Interactions (7.1) ] . (Zolpidem label, Warnings and precautions)

Minor mentions (10)

  • BenztropineanticholinergicMinor

    Paralytic ileus, hyperthermia and heat stroke, all of which have sometimes been fatal, have occurred in patients taking anticholinergic-type antiparkinsonism drugs, including benztropine mesylate, in combination with phenothiazines and/or tricyclic antidepressants. (Benztropine label, Warnings)

  • Divalproex (valproate)anticonvulsantMinor

    In contrast, drugs that are inhibitors of cytochrome P450 isozymes, e.g., antidepressants, may be expected to have little effect on valproate clearance because cytochrome P450 microsomal mediated oxidation is a relatively minor secondary metabolic pathway compared to glucuronidation and beta-oxidation. (Divalproex (valproate) label, Drug interactions)

  • EluxadolineopioidMinor

    Other Serotonergic Drugs Clinical Impact: Concomitant use of Citalopram Capsules with other serotonergic drugs (including other SSRIs, SNRIs, triptans, tricyclic antidepressants, opioids, lithium, buspirone, amphetamines, tryptophan, and St. (Citalopram label, Drug interactions)

  • LovastatinstatinMinor

    These include itraconazole, ketoconazole, posaconazole, voriconazole, the macrolide antibiotics erythromycin and clarithromycin, the ketolide antibiotic telithromycin, HIV protease inhibitors, boceprevir, telaprevir, the antidepressant nefazodone, or cobicistat-containing products. (Lovastatin label, Warnings)

  • Other Serotonergic Drugs Clinical Impact: Concomitant use of Citalopram Capsules with other serotonergic drugs (including other SSRIs, SNRIs, triptans, tricyclic antidepressants, opioids, lithium, buspirone, amphetamines, tryptophan, and St. (Citalopram label, Drug interactions)

  • Propranololbeta blockerMinor

    Antidepressants: The hypotensive effect of MAO inhibitors or tricyclic antidepressants may be exacerbated when administered with beta-blockers. (Propranolol label, Drug interactions)

  • TerbinafineantifungalMinor

    Drugs predominantly metabolized by the CYP450 2D6 isozyme include the following drug classes: tricyclic antidepressants, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, beta-blockers, antiarrhythmics class 1C (e.g., flecainide and propafenone) and monoamine oxidase inhibitors Type B. (Terbinafine label, Drug interactions)

  • TiagabineanticonvulsantMinor

    In most cases, patients were using concomitant medications (antidepressants, antipsychotics, stimulants, narcotics) that are thought to lower the seizure threshold. (Tiagabine label, Warnings)

  • TrihexyphenidylanticholinergicMinor

    Monoamine oxidase inhibitors and tricyclic antidepressants possessing significant anticholinergic activity may intensify the anticholinergic effects of antidyskinetic agents because of the secondary anticholinergic activities of these medications. (Trihexyphenidyl label, Drug interactions)

  • Valproic acidanticonvulsantMinor

    In contrast, drugs that are inhibitors of cytochrome P450 isozymes, e.g., antidepressants, may be expected to have little effect on valproate clearance because cytochrome P450 microsomal mediated oxidation is a relatively minor secondary metabolic pathway compared to glucuronidation and beta-oxidation. (Valproic acid label, Drug interactions)

No significant interaction reported (1)

  • Ropiniroledopamine agonistNo interaction

    Commonly Administered Drugs: Population analysis showed that commonly administered drugs (e.g., selegiline, amantadine, tricyclic antidepressants, benzodiazepines, ibuprofen, thiazides, antihistamines, anticholinergics) did not affect the clearance of ropinirole. (Ropinirole label, Drug interactions)
